INGREDIENTS

• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 2 acorn or 1 butternut squash, baked
• 2 onions, roughly chopped

• 2 stalks celery, roughly chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 inch ginger root, peeled and grated

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and place squash on a greased cookie sheet.

3. In a large stock pot melt coconut oil and sauté onions.
4. Add carrots, celery, garlic, and ginger and continue to sauté over medium-low heat.
5. Once the squash is easy to handle, remove the flesh from the skin and add to the pot with the vegetables.
6. Fill pot with water to just slightly cover the vegetables and simmer until tender, usually 20 minutes.
7. Puree soup using an immersion blender or blend in batches in a high powered blender.
8. Add sea salt and pepper to taste and garnish with fresh dill, parsley, or chives.

NOTES:

For a creamier consistency substitute one can of coconut milk for 16 ounces of water.
